/ MY STORY

Over 20 years of experience with branding and business development...

Hey there, I'm Heather, and I've got a bit of a story to share. My journey into design and business started way back when, and I've got a family filled with artistic folks. We're talking woodworkers, potters, glass artisans—you name it. Growing up, I was surrounded by creativity, and it sparked something inside me.

Now, I didn't start out as a branding whiz or anything. In fact, I didn't even know what "branding" was when I began creating my own little snow sports line and quirky t-shirt brands when I was 11. It wasn't until later (highschool) that I realized branding was a legit thing, and I couldn't get enough of it.

But here's the thing: I didn't just stumble into this. I'm not just a well-learned individual who happened to fall into the creative business world. Nope, I took the more traditional path. I attended a competitive 4-year university that taught me the importance of business, sales, marketing, and, of course, branding. I made it through university, fell in love, got married, and found myself pregnant with my first. It was then that I realized I needed to be my own boss, because I literally wanted to see the work I do put food on the table for my clients, and watch my kids grow too.

Building Your Creative Business: FAQs

What do you do, and who do you work with?

I help creatives, artists, makers, and small businesses build strong, sustainable foundations for their work, by combining strategy, branding, and creative solutions. My focus is on guiding you to deeply connect with your ideal audience, market your work effectively, and create a business that not only thrives but also aligns with your goals and values.We achieve this through a process of discovery, research, and asking the tough questions that uncover what’s really holding you back. Growth isn’t always easy, but I’m here to help you identify the roadblocks in your business and equip you with the tools, systems, and strategies to move forward with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll turn challenges into opportunities for growth.

How are you different from other creative coaches or art consultants?

With over 20 years of experience in branding, design, and strategy, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to build and grow a creative business. But what truly sets me apart is my ability to balance creativity, business, and life—because, as a mom of five, I know how messy and demanding life can be. My approach is real, personal, and hands-on. I don’t just give you advice or leave you with theories—I guide you step-by-step to implement practical tools and strategies that work for you. No fluff, no generic templates—just authentic honest advice and the tools and services to help you achieve your goals.

Do I need to have an established business to work with you?

Not at all! Whether you’re just starting or need to refocus an existing business, I’ll meet you where you are and help you get clarity, direction, and momentum.

What does your process look like?

My process is designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be. We’ll begin with a deep dive into your goals, challenges, and the audience you want to reach. I’ll help you clarify your vision, identify roadblocks, and uncover opportunities that align with your creative passion.

From there, we’ll work together to build a personalized plan that connects your creativity with strategic systems designed to grow your business. This includes everything from understanding your ideal customers to streamlining your workflow and creating marketing strategies that make sense for your brand. Every step is tailored to your unique needs, so you’ll leave with not only clarity and direction but also actionable tools and systems to implement right away. My goal is to make the process simple, effective, and empowering—helping you move forward with confidence and purpose.

What kind of results can I expect?

The results depend on your willingness to do the work and apply what we build together. If you're ready to dig deep, embrace discomfort, and take action, you can expect real, transformative growth. You'll gain clarity about your audience, a strong brand foundation, and practical tools to streamline your work.

This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about creating a business that aligns with your goals and resonates with the right people. With a clear direction and the right systems in place, you’ll be able to confidently market your business, connect with your ideal audience, and take the steps needed to grow. Your hard work and dedication are the keys to unlocking the results you’re looking for.

How quick will I see results?

The timeline for results depends on how quickly we can complete our research and how fast you’re able to take action on the strategies we develop. Think of it like laying bricks—every step you take builds momentum, and the more consistent you are, the faster you'll see progress.

With the right strategies in place, you can start seeing clarity and growth within just a few weeks. But the key to long-term success is consistency. We’ll work together to build a solid foundation, and as you apply what we create, the results will come faster and more steadily. The more you put into the process, the more you’ll get out of it.
